Subject: [PATCHv2 5/6] zloop: set dma_alignment from the backing files for direct I/O
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:42:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622174241.2299563-6-kbusch@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260622174241.2299563-1-kbusch@meta.com>
From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>
Direct I/O request's use pages handed to the backing files unchanged, so
the backing's DMA alignment requirement applies. Track dio_mem_align and
advertise it as the device's dma_alignment so we communicate proper
limits and misaligned I/O is rejected here instead of reaching the
backend.
